Definitions

  • This disclosure is directed to a method of displaying information on a monitor, and, more particularly, to an apparatus to monitor a camera output signal waveform, and associated methods of use.
  • F-stops are well known and derive from film exposure and camera aperture or speed adjustment, which is typically adjusted in F-stop increments.
  • the so called F-stop derives from the Focal Ratio or F-number, a dimensionless ratio of focal-length divided by the effective aperture of the camera lens. For example, one f-stop, or “stop”, corresponds to an area increase of 2 ⁇ or 3 dB in light power but the F-number changes by only sqrt(2). It is typically the F-number that is marked on the lens iris or aperture adjustment.
  • both film production and video production use electronic imagers within the cameras typically providing a very large dynamic range and adjustable gain (6 dB/stop).
  • film negatives have about 13 stops compared to 14.4 stops for a typical (e.g., Nikon D800) DSLR camera.
  • the traditional Gamma (power-law) correction as well as newer log processing within the camera can maintain a large portion of that dynamic range when compressed into a 12-bit or even 10-bit resolution digital video output. It is very important to determine how well that dynamic range is being utilized based on camera adjustment (gain/aperture) and scene lighting. Typically this is done on the camera output signal by viewing the output on a picture monitor ( ⁇ 10 stops of dynamic range).
  • Embodiments of the invention address these and other issues in the prior art.
  • Embodiments of the invention include a real-time method and apparatus to monitor the camera output signal waveform with a weighting that provides the combination of removing the gamma or other non-linear correction applied to the camera imager with the conversion of the waveform to a log2, “f-stop”, weighted waveform display with calibrated graticule and cursors.
  • embodiments include a method and apparatus to allow selection of regions of the calibrated f-stop weighted waveform with adjustable markers or cursors reading out in f-stop values.
  • adjustable markers preferably provide corresponding indications on a picture display of the regions of the camera image corresponding to the selected f-stop value of the marker.
  • Particular embodiments include a waveform monitor for generating a modified image from an original image include a brightness measuring system to generate brightness values that are then converted to f-stop equivalents.
  • a selector is used to create a range of f-stop values and a modifier changes the original image for selected pixels that fall within the selected range of f-stop values.
  • the original image may be modified by replacing or blending those pixels with colorized pixels, i.e., by falsely coloring the original image. Methods of modifying images in this manner are also described.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an example Video Waveform Monitor including monitor markers according to embodiments of the invention.
  • FIG. 2A is an example display output of a conventional voltage vs. time waveform.
  • FIG. 2B is an example display output of a new f-stop vs. time waveform produced by the Waveform Monitor of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 is a base image capture used to illustrate embodiments of the invention.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a traditional voltage waveform for the image of FIG. 3
  • FIG. 5 illustrates an f-stop waveform for the image of FIG. 3 , with cursors FSLow and FSHigh, according to embodiments of the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is the image capture of FIG. 3 that has been modified with color highlighting according to embodiments of the invention.
  • embodiments of the invention may be used to assess a live video signal from a cameras in terms of relative f-stops (log2 scale) as well as the traditional, linearly displayed, voltage or IRE level. This effectively converts even an analog camera output into a light-meter for relative lighting and exposure in terms of “stops” or “f-stops”.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing material portions of an example Video Waveform Monitor according to embodiments of the invention.
  • a Waveform Monitor 20 is coupled to and receives input from a camera 12 that is pointed at a subject 14 that is lit by lighting 16 .
  • the camera 12 typically includes adjustments for aperture and exposure index that may be controlled by a camera operator, or the adjustments may be automatically controlled.
  • the camera output is input to the Waveform Monitor 20 .
  • the camera 12 output is first processed by an input processor 30 before passing through a filter 32 , such as a low pass filter, that may be turned on or off by the user, such as through a user interface 50 .
  • a filter 32 such as a low pass filter
  • the filtered or non-filtered output is fed to a Look Up Table (LUT) 40 that has been loaded with preset tables through the user interface 50 .
  • LUT 40 Look Up Table
  • One portion of the LUT 40 , 40 A may be used to remove the gamma or log processing on the luma signal. This process converts the luma signal to a linear light representation.
  • Another portion of the LUT 40 , 40 B may be used to convert the luma signal to a Log 2 (Y/Ymax) scale to provide a real-time, f-stop luma signal for a waveform display, such as illustrated in FIG. 2B .
  • Y/Ymax Log 2
  • both mathematical processes are typically multiplied and scaled with high precision before converting to a single set of integer LUT words, thereby eliminating the need for the large word size needed to represent the wide dynamic range of linear light values.
  • LUTs stored in the Waveform Monitor 20 There may be multiple LUTs stored in the Waveform Monitor 20 .
  • the user may use the user interface 50 to control which of the stored LUTs is loaded as the active LUT 40 .
  • various LUTs may be pre-stored in the Waveform Monitor 20 that allow user to select the active LUT 40 based on camera gamma and black level.
  • a display monitor 60 on the Waveform Monitor 20 displays output to the user. While the monitor 60 may be used to show the traditional voltage vs. time waveform, such as illustrated in FIG. 2A , it may also be used to show a new f-stop vs time waveform, such as illustrated in FIG. 2B .
  • the new f-stop vs time waveform display may use the same user-adjustable cursors as the traditional voltage vs time display, except the output is scaled in “stops” rather than voltage.
  • the horizontal time base is the same for both displays, as illustrated in FIGS. 2A and 2B , having the conventional selections such as 1-line, 2-line and field sweeps, for example.
  • a cursor window select block 70 may accept user input from the user interface 50 to read adjustable cursor values set by the user. These adjustable cursor values may be used as binary gate signals to modify an otherwise monochrome output of the Waveform Monitor 20 .
  • a color cursor mixer 80 may be coupled to receive the processed input signal from the input processor 30 , or from elsewhere in the Waveform Monitor 20 . The color cursor mixer 80 is also coupled to the cursor window select block 70 . Binary gate signals from the cursor window select block 70 may be used to determine which areas of the original monochrome output will be colored, thus highlighting particular regions of the output, as described below.
  • FIG. 3 is an original monochrome output
  • the output of FIG. 6 is the original monochrome picture that has been highlighted in color to identify areas of the picture that fall within the f-stop windows selected by the user.
  • the image capture shown in FIG. 3 is a Luma-only or monochrome picture
  • two color windows are added, for example red and blue, as described in more detail below.
  • the log 2 (Y) signal from the LUT 40 is compared with two user controllable window detectors in the control block 70 .
  • Users may control the position and size of cursor “windows”. More specifically, in one embodiment, users may control the center f-stop value as well as the size of the cursor window.
  • the window is used by the system to create binary gate signals. F-stop values from the luma output falling within the specified cursor window are shown on the display as colored pixels, providing information to the user about which pixels in the output fall within the f-stop window. The remaining pixels, i.e., those pixels having brightness levels outside of the specified cursor window from the original image, may be shown on the display without change.
  • Windows may be adjusted in, for example, 1 ⁇ 4 stop (f-stop) increments.
  • the window could be pre-configured to plus and minus 1 ⁇ 4 stop from the user controllable center f-stop value adjustable over the entire range of the signal from the LUT 40 .
  • the user can adjust the cursor to highlight any particular region of the picture to determine from the cursor value on the f-stop waveform in FIG. 2B or FIG. 5 the f-stop value, within 1 ⁇ 4 stop, of that particular region of the picture as well as other regions with substantially the same f-stop value.
  • the color cursor mixer 80 generates the coloring signals, for example the red and blue pixels for combining with the original image to produce the modified image as illustrated in FIG. 6 .
  • the color cursor mixer 80 merely replaces the original pixels that fall within the f-stop window with monochromatic red or blue, for instance.
  • the color cursor mixer 80 may generate a blended output by adding a color hue to the underlying luma data.
  • these examples show a monochrome base image, embodiments of the invention are not limited to luma only, and may be performed in each color channel, for example red, green, blue, independently.
